1 2008-12-26 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * test/common.sh: new file for common utility functions for the
4 test scripts. Moved findprog out of manpage test script into this
7 2008-12-25 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
9 * test/runtest: automatically run setup-test if it hasn't already
10 been done. Improve error handling in test script with 'set -e'.
12 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
14 * h/mh.h: raised NAMESZ from 128 to 999. RFC 2822 limits line
15 lengths to 998 characters, so a header name can be at most that long.
16 m_getfld limits header names to 2 less than NAMESZ, which is fine,
17 because header names must be followed by a colon. Add one for
20 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
22 * sbr/m_getfld.c: in warning message, use NAMESZ-2 instead of
23 NAMESZ-1 bytes because the message says "exceeds", not
24 "is greater than or equal to".
26 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
28 * docs/MAIL.FILTERING: added note on removing procmail -f or
29 -r options to try to suppress generation of a "From " line on
32 2008-08-14 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
34 * test/setup-test: Don't run autogen.sh unless needed. Build in a
35 blddir under the temporary directory so as not to interfere with
36 whatever the developer may be doing in the source directory.
37 If the temporary directory already exists, rebuild and install it.
39 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
41 * sbr/ambigsw.c: Send print_sw output to stderr. This avoids
42 strange problems with scan `pick -bogus`, not to mention being
45 * sbr/getans.c, sbr/print_help.c, uip/msh.c: Send print_sw output
48 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/print_sw.c (print_sw): Add FILE * argument
49 and send output there rather than to stdout.
51 * test/tests/pick/test-stderr: Add test that error messages don't
52 end up going to stdout.
54 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
56 * uip/pick.c: Print matching messages immediately, instead of
57 waiting until the very end to print anything.
58 Ensure valid sequence name as soon as we parse it from command,
59 instead of searching the messages first.
61 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
63 * uip/Makefile.in, uip/popi.c: Remove popi.c, which has been dead
64 since PatchSet 257 (2000/06/12 11:07:34 UTC).
66 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
68 * h/mhparse.h: Move interfaces also used by mhbuildsbr.c here
71 * uip/Makefile.in (mhbuild): Build with mhparse.o.
73 * uip/mhbuildsbr.c: Drop the duplication of mhparse.c.
75 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
76 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c: Drop check swdeclaration, which is
79 * uip/mhparse.c: Move some declarations to mhparse.h, and remove
80 'static' from the definitions here.
81 (get_ctinfo): Take magic mhbuild support from mhbuildsbr.c's copy,
83 (incl_name_value, extract_name_value): Move from mhbuildsbr.c to
84 support get_ctinfo change).
85 (get_content, open7Bit): Add Content-Disposition support, added to
86 mhbuildsbr.c's copy in mhbuildsbr.c r1.12 (PatchSet 549).
87 (InitText): Default to CHARSET_UNSPECIFIED instead of "US-ASCII",
88 as mhbuildsbr.c's copy did. Explain termproc.
89 (openBase64, openQuoted, open7Bit): Fix comment from r1.5:
90 suffixes, not prefixes.
91 (openMail): Explain showproc.
93 * test/tests/mhshow/test-cte-binary: Add test for
94 Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary (Debian #136976).
96 * test/tests/mhbuild/test-forw: Add an mhbuild test, testing forw
97 with and without RFC-934 mode. More mhbuild tests would be nice.
99 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
101 * test/tests/bad-input/test-header: Add test for it.
103 * sbr/m_getfld.c: If we reach the end of the line without finding
104 a ':' when parsing a header field, treat that line as the
105 beginning of the body rather than blowing up. These messages are
106 usually spam, but it's nice to be able to at least scan them.
108 2008-08-12 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
110 * test/tests/mhshow/test-qp: Test various valid and invalid
113 * uip/mhparse.c (openQuoted): Simplify the decode-or-show for loop by
114 peeking ahead to the next byte(s) when encountering '=', and just let
115 invalid escape sequences through as literals (fixes bug #15245).
117 2008-08-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
119 * autogen.sh (new file): add script for running the GNU
120 autotools in the right order
121 * INSTALL: mention that you need to run autogen.sh if you
123 * docs/README.developers: mention autogen.sh rather than
124 suggesting running autoheader and autoconf by hand.
125 * test/setup-test: run autotools via autogen.sh
127 2008-08-08 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
129 * sbr/discard.c, sbr/m_getfld.c, uip/scansbr.c: Add support for
130 DragonFlyBSD stdio (from NetBSD pkgsrc).
132 2008-08-05 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
134 * uip/folder.c: chdir(nmhdir) in main rather than in dodir, which
135 is called many times. Drop the chdir in get_folder_info, which
136 served no purpose at all. If struct stat has d_type (BSD), use
137 that to skip processing (strcmp, stat, and so on) of message
138 files, mostly undoing the slow-down from the last change.
140 * configure.in: Call CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE.
142 * aclocal.m4: Add CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE from
145 2008-08-04 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
147 * uip/folder.c: Simplify dodir/addir/addfold. Dump hacky
148 over-optimization in addir that tried to avoid readdir after all
149 child directories had been read; this was also trying to support
150 symlinks to directories, but would have been failing (because
151 nlink may have gone to 0 with symlinks to directories remaining)
152 had the lstat usage been correct (lstat doesn't fail for normal
153 directories; should have used S_ISLNK).
155 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
157 * test/setup-test: use 'set -e' so we stop on compile failure.
158 Configure --enable-debug for convenience in debugging.
160 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: bug #23319: rework the way we handle the working
161 directory when invoking the user's shell, so that we don't have
162 issues when the cwd contains a space or shell special character.
163 * test/tests/whatnow/test-attach-detach, test/tests/whatnow/test-cd,
164 test/tests/whatnow/test-ls: test cases for this.
166 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: add 'do { ... } while (0)' wrappers
167 to various multi-statement macros to avoid nasty surprises
168 if the macros are used in if() clauses.
170 * bug #23436: man/scan.man, man/forw.man, man/inc.man,
171 man/mh-chart.man, man/mhmail.man, man/mhshow.man,
172 man/mhstore.man, man/msgchk.man, man/packf.man, man/scan.man:
173 fix minor syntax errors groff warns about.
174 * test/runtest, test/README: allow test cases to report
175 that they have been SKIPped as well as PASS/FAIL
176 * test/tests/manpages/test-manpages - new test which runs groff
177 on the manpages and checks that there are no warnings.
178 * test/runalltests: ignore editor backup files
180 2008-08-03 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
182 * etc/replcomps, etc/replgroupcomps: Trim trailing whitespace from
185 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
187 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: when doing an if-test on the result
188 of a function which returns a string result, check whether
189 the string is non-empty (as the documentation says we do).
190 Previously we were always testing the integer 'value'. Bug
191 spotted by Eric Gillespie.
192 * test/tests/repl/test-if-str: test case for this bug
194 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
196 * test/setup-test: Run 'make clean' before building
198 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
200 * test/runtest: cat test-temp-dir only once. Destroy and create
201 test Mail hierarchy here, so each test has its own independent
204 * test/setup-test: Drop needless pushd/popd, which don't exist in
205 sh anyway. Don't use aclocal, which is part of automake.
206 Don't create Mail hierarchy here (see test/runtest).
208 * test/tests/folder/test-create, tests/folder/test-total: Drop
211 * tests/pick/test-pick: Remove failing no-op test.
213 * test/tests/scan/test-scan: Write expected and actual output to
214 files and diff them. This way, if the output differs, diff
215 provides the FAILing exit code and shows the differences.
217 2008-06-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
218 * man/repl.man, etc/mhl.reply:
219 Add an attribution line when replying to messages.
221 2008-06-02 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
223 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, sbr/done.c, uip/inc.c,
224 uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
225 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c, uip/packf.c, uip/pick.c,
226 uip/rcvdist.c, uip/rcvstore.c, uip/sendsbr.c: when
227 building on gcc, use the noreturn attribute on various
228 functions (should improve code and avoid some spurious
229 'uninitialized variable' warnings).
231 2008-06-01 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
233 * docs/README.developers: update the bits about doing a
234 release announcement, now I've actually done one.
236 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
238 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
239 with multibyte support.
241 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
242 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
243 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
244 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
246 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
248 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
249 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
251 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
252 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
254 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
256 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
257 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
258 the address of a static array.
260 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
262 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
263 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
265 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
267 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
268 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
269 This allows users to masquerade with the default
270 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
271 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
272 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
275 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
277 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
278 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
279 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
280 ruserpass() has a void return type.
282 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
283 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
284 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
285 provide memmove() substitute implementation
287 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
288 source directory' feature
290 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
291 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
293 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
295 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
296 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
297 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
300 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
302 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
303 is the wrong approach.
305 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
306 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
307 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
310 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
311 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
312 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
313 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
314 broken for continued lines from the server.
316 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
318 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
319 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
321 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
323 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
325 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
328 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
330 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
332 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
334 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
335 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
336 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
337 obsolete feature of autoconf
339 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
341 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
342 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
343 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
345 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
347 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
348 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
350 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
352 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
355 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
357 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
358 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
359 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
360 following done() (should never be reached).
362 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
364 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
365 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
367 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
369 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
370 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
372 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
374 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
375 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
376 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
377 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
378 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
379 acconfig.h if you must.
381 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
383 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
384 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
385 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
386 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
388 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
390 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
393 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
395 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
396 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
397 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
398 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
399 have Content-Disposition.
401 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
403 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
406 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
408 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
409 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
411 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
413 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
414 encoded block is empty
416 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
418 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
419 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
420 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
423 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
425 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
426 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
429 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
431 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
432 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
433 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
434 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
437 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
438 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
440 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
442 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
443 function num_digits into utils.c
445 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
447 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
448 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
449 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
451 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
453 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
454 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
455 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
456 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
457 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
458 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
459 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
460 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
462 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
464 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
465 Content-Disposition header.
467 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
469 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
470 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
471 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
472 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
473 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
474 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
475 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
476 users to easily accomodate that by adding
477 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
479 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
481 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
482 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
484 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
486 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
488 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
489 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
491 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
492 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
494 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
496 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
497 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
498 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
499 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
500 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
503 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
505 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
506 widths, restoring right justification feature
508 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
510 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
511 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
512 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
514 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
517 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
519 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
520 handling multi column characters.
522 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
524 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
526 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
528 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
529 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
532 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
534 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
536 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
538 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
541 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
543 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
546 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
548 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
549 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
550 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
551 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
553 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
555 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
556 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
557 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
558 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
559 where configure's autodetection fails.
561 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
563 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
564 configure script change.
566 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
568 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
569 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
570 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
573 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
575 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
576 the context is only read once.
578 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
580 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
581 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
583 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
585 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
586 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
588 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
589 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
592 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
593 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
596 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
598 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
599 vi isn't found during build.
601 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
603 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
604 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
606 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
607 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
608 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
610 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
612 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
613 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
615 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
616 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
617 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
618 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
621 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
622 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
623 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
625 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
626 entry in the context file.
628 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
630 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
631 problems on some systems
633 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
634 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
636 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
638 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
639 sendmail isn't found during build.
641 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
643 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
645 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
647 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
648 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
650 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
651 references to the web page and mailing list locations
653 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
654 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
656 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
659 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
661 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
662 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
663 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
665 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
666 was configured with --enable-apop.
668 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
669 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
670 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
672 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
673 new versions of flex.
675 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
676 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
677 doesn't guess wrongly.
679 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
681 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
682 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
684 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
685 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
687 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
688 files with numbers as names
690 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
692 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
694 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
696 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
698 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
699 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
701 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
703 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
706 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
707 test/report error writing to stdout
709 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
711 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
713 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
714 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
715 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
717 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
718 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
719 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
721 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
723 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
724 character set used by the current locale
726 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
727 message's filename overflows an int when converted
729 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
730 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
732 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
734 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
737 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
739 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
740 from Michael Richardson.
742 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
743 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
745 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
747 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
748 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
750 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
752 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
753 find sub-parts of the specified part
755 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
757 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
758 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
759 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
760 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
761 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
762 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
763 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
766 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
768 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
769 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
770 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
773 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
774 refiling with -src option.
776 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
778 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
780 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
782 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
783 mailpath being overwritten.
785 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
787 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
788 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
789 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
790 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
791 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
792 reinitializes the tmp file string.
794 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
795 if a format string was read from the profile.
797 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
798 path for the external hook.
800 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
802 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
803 another location for ndbm.
805 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
807 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
809 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
811 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
814 136976 - Handle binary content messages
815 143427 - mh-format.man typo
816 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
817 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
818 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
819 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
820 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
821 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
822 181867 - typo for nmh.man
824 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
826 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
827 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
828 contitional code which will result in cached data to
829 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
830 and parse on the first use.
831 * Remove some unused flag bits.
833 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
835 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
836 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
838 #578 - repl leaks umask
839 #1393 - sortm core dumps
840 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
841 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
842 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
844 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
845 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
847 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
849 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
850 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
852 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
854 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
855 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
856 to docs/README.about.
858 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
860 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
862 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
863 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
864 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
865 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
868 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
870 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
871 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
872 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
873 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
874 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
875 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
878 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
879 summary configure prints out.
881 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
882 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
883 subjectively more readable) format.
885 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
887 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
890 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
892 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
893 19xx when it's not necessary.
895 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
897 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
898 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
901 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
902 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
903 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
904 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
905 the man pages correctly.
907 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
909 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
911 * Finished manpages ali-prev
913 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
914 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
915 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
918 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
919 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
920 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
921 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
923 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
925 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
926 the formatting rules I've been using.
930 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
932 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
933 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
934 used in the manpages.
936 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
937 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
938 read in the contents of the file as the variable
941 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
942 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
943 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
944 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
945 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
946 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
947 bold flags and italicized parameters.
949 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
951 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
952 --with-locking option.
954 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
955 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
956 information was not being communicated to the
957 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
958 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
959 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
960 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
961 undefined symbols problems.
963 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
964 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
965 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
966 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
967 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
968 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
969 for a genuine krb4 installation.
971 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
973 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
974 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
976 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
978 * Made a new ./configure option called
979 "--with-locking" that allows the file
980 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
981 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
983 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
984 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
985 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
986 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
987 the user that these are the valid options, and
988 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
991 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
993 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
994 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
995 committed to supporting flex only, since
996 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
997 string, as well as other problems documented
998 below and on nmh-workers.
1000 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
1001 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
1002 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
1005 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
1006 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
1008 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1010 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
1011 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
1012 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
1014 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1016 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
1017 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
1019 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1021 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
1022 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
1023 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
1024 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
1025 couldn't correctly identify them.
1027 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1029 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
1030 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
1031 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
1032 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
1033 not depending on an external archive.
1035 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
1036 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
1037 mts/generic is no longer built.
1039 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1041 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
1042 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
1043 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
1044 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
1045 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
1046 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
1047 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
1048 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
1050 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1052 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
1053 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
1056 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1058 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
1059 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
1060 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
1063 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
1064 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
1065 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
1066 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
1068 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
1069 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
1070 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
1071 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
1072 merged into the smtp code).
1074 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
1075 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
1076 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
1079 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
1080 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
1081 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
1082 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
1083 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
1084 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
1085 in the appropriate Makefile.in
1087 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1089 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
1090 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
1091 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
1092 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
1093 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
1094 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
1095 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
1096 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
1097 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
1098 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
1099 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
1101 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1103 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
1104 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
1105 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
1106 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
1107 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
1108 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
1109 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
1110 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
1111 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
1113 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1115 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
1116 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
1117 able to access them.
1119 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1121 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
1122 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
1124 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1126 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
1127 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
1128 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
1129 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
1131 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1133 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
1134 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
1135 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
1136 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
1137 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
1139 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
1140 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
1142 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
1144 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1146 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
1147 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
1148 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
1149 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
1151 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
1152 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
1153 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
1154 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
1156 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
1157 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
1158 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
1159 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
1161 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
1162 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
1163 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
1165 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
1167 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
1168 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
1169 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
1170 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
1171 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
1172 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
1175 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
1176 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
1178 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
1179 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
1181 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1183 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
1185 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1187 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
1188 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
1189 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
1190 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
1192 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1194 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
1195 be easily changed from "," to "#".
1197 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
1199 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
1201 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
1202 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
1205 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1207 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
1208 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
1209 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
1210 but not for the subsequent data stream.
1212 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1214 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
1215 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
1216 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
1217 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
1218 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
1220 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1222 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
1223 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
1225 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
1226 cat, also define lorder as echo.
1228 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
1230 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1232 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1233 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1234 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1236 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1238 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1241 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1242 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1244 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1246 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1247 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1249 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1251 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1252 inc does not need to be setgid.
1254 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1256 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1257 library, as found on Debian systems.
1259 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1261 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1263 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1264 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1265 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1266 case-insensitivity flag.
1268 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1270 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1271 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1273 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1275 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1276 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1277 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1278 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1279 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1280 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1281 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1282 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1283 getting moved aside).
1285 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1286 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1288 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1290 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1291 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1292 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1293 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1294 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1295 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1296 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1297 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1298 the prototype, but never sets it.
1300 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1301 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1302 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1303 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1304 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1305 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1307 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1308 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1309 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1310 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1311 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1313 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1315 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1316 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1319 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1320 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1321 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1322 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1323 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1324 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1325 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1327 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1329 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1331 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1332 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1333 this works on other systems.
1335 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1337 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1338 checks for write failures.
1340 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1342 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1344 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1347 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1349 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1351 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1353 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1354 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1357 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1359 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1360 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1361 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1362 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1364 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1366 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1367 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1370 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1371 as well as Makefiles.
1373 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1375 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1376 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1377 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1378 should make maintainability easier.
1380 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1381 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1382 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1383 whatever you know works.
1385 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1387 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1388 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1389 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1391 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1392 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1393 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1394 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1396 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1397 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1398 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1400 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1401 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1402 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1403 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1404 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1406 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1407 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1408 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1409 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1410 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1411 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1412 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1413 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1414 from the BSD version.
1416 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1417 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1418 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1420 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1421 in ruserpass.c also.
1423 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1426 This happens on solaris:
1429 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1430 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1434 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1436 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1437 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1439 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1441 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1442 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1443 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1444 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1445 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1446 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1447 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1448 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1449 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1450 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1451 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1453 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1454 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1455 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1456 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1457 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1458 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1461 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1462 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1463 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1464 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1465 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1467 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1468 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1470 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1472 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1473 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1474 to stdin, such as exmh.
1476 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1477 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1478 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1481 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1483 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1484 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1485 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1486 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1487 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1488 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1489 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1491 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1493 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1494 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1496 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1498 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1499 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1501 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1503 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1506 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1507 along with any -host or -user option.
1509 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1511 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1513 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1514 process was fresh in my mind.
1516 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1518 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1519 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1521 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1523 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1525 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1528 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1529 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1530 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1531 part of the program's name.
1533 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1534 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1537 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1539 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1540 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1541 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1542 single-character format would cause programs using this
1543 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1544 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1545 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1546 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1549 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1551 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1552 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1553 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1554 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1555 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1556 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1558 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1559 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1560 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1561 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1562 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1563 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1564 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1565 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1567 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1568 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1569 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1570 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1571 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1572 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1573 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1574 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1575 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1576 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1578 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1580 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1581 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1583 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1584 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1586 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1591 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1593 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1594 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1595 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1596 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1598 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1599 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1600 problem in the routine.
1602 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1604 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1605 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1607 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1608 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1609 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1612 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1614 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1615 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1616 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1617 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1618 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1619 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1620 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1621 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1622 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1623 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1625 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1627 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1628 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1629 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1630 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1631 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1632 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1633 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1634 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1635 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1636 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1637 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1638 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1640 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1641 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1642 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1643 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1644 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1646 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1649 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1651 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1652 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1653 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1654 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1657 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1659 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1661 * Applied, after some finessing,
1662 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1664 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1666 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1668 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1669 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1670 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1671 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1673 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1675 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1676 forgetting to do so!).
1678 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1679 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1680 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1681 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1682 arguments to enable all three types.
1684 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1685 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1687 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1688 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1689 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1690 updated copy of mts.conf.
1692 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1694 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1695 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1696 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1698 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1700 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1702 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1703 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1704 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1706 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1707 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1708 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1710 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1711 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1712 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1714 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1716 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1718 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1720 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1722 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1723 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1725 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1726 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1727 certain suffix to run properly.
1729 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1730 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1731 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1733 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1734 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1735 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1736 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1737 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1738 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1739 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1741 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1743 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1744 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1745 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1746 until some year far in the future).
1748 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1750 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1752 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1753 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1755 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1756 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1759 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1761 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1762 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1763 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1764 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1765 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1766 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1768 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1770 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1772 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1773 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1774 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1776 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1777 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1778 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1779 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1780 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1781 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1784 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1785 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1786 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1787 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1788 of masquerading individually.
1790 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1791 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1792 GECOS field delimiters.
1794 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1796 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1797 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1798 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1799 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1800 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1801 and explaining the feature.
1803 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1805 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1806 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1809 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1810 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1811 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1813 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1814 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1815 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1816 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1818 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1819 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1820 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1823 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1825 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1826 code to be executed.
1828 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1830 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1832 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1833 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1834 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1835 quotes embedded in them.
1837 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1839 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1840 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1841 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1842 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1843 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1844 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1845 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1848 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1849 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1850 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1851 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1852 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1854 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1856 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1858 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1859 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1860 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1861 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1863 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1866 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1868 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1870 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1872 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1873 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1874 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1876 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1879 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1881 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1882 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1883 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1884 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1885 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1886 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1888 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1889 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1891 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1893 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1896 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1898 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1899 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1900 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1903 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1904 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1905 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1906 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1907 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1908 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1909 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1910 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1911 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1912 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1913 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1914 processing that post has).
1916 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1918 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1919 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1920 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1921 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1922 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1923 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1926 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1928 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1930 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1932 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1934 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1935 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1937 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1940 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1942 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1943 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1944 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1947 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1949 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1950 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1951 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1952 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1953 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1954 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1956 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1958 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1960 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1962 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1963 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1964 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1965 caught again. This works for now.
1967 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1969 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1971 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1972 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1974 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1976 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1977 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1979 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1981 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1983 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1985 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1986 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1988 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1990 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1991 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1992 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1993 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1994 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1997 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1999 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
2000 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
2001 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
2003 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
2004 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
2007 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2009 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
2010 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
2011 to a directory on another device with more free space.
2013 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2015 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
2016 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
2018 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
2020 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
2023 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
2024 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
2026 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
2027 macros, regardless of platform.
2029 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
2030 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2032 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
2033 with x-conversions=gzip.
2035 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2037 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
2040 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
2041 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
2042 implicit definition of ioctl().
2044 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
2045 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
2046 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
2047 want to mess with them.
2049 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2051 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
2052 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
2054 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
2055 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2057 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
2058 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
2059 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
2061 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
2062 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
2063 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
2065 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
2066 function initgroups.
2068 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
2071 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
2072 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
2075 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
2076 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
2079 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
2080 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
2084 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2086 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
2087 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
2088 preventing compilation on at least linux.
2090 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
2091 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
2093 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2095 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
2097 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
2098 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
2099 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
2100 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
2102 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
2103 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
2105 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2107 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
2109 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2111 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
2112 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
2114 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2116 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
2117 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
2119 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
2120 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
2121 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
2122 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
2124 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
2125 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
2127 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2129 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
2130 substitute it for mktemp if available.
2132 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2134 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
2135 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
2138 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2140 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
2142 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2144 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
2145 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2147 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
2148 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
2149 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
2151 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
2152 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
2153 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
2155 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
2156 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
2157 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2159 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
2160 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
2163 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
2164 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2166 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
2167 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2169 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
2170 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2172 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
2173 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
2174 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2176 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
2177 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2179 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
2180 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
2181 <elleron@servtech.com>.
2183 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
2184 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
2187 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
2188 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
2190 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
2191 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
2192 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
2193 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2195 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
2196 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
2198 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2202 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
2203 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
2204 would not be changed.
2206 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
2207 one from the Apache web server.
2209 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
2210 (this should have been done a long time ago).
2212 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
2213 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
2214 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
2216 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
2218 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
2220 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
2221 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
2224 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
2225 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
2226 removes a bad race condition.
2228 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2231 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2232 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2233 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2235 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2236 sequence information.
2238 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2239 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2241 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2244 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2247 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2249 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2250 interpret 034 as octal.
2252 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2254 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2255 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2257 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2258 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2260 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2261 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2263 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2264 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2266 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2267 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2269 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2270 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2271 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2273 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2274 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2275 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2277 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2279 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2281 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2282 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2285 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2287 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2288 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2290 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2291 header field information.
2293 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2294 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2296 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2297 values when parsing a content.
2299 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2300 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2302 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2303 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2305 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2306 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2308 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2309 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2311 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2313 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2315 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2317 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2319 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2320 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2323 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2324 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2326 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2327 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2328 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2329 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2330 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2331 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2334 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2336 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2337 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2338 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2340 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2341 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2343 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2345 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2346 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2347 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2348 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2350 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2351 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2354 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2355 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2356 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2357 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2360 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2362 * Released nmh-0.27.
2364 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2365 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2367 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2368 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2369 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2370 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2373 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2374 mhbuild returns an error.
2376 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2377 rename the draft file.
2379 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2380 use a global variable.
2382 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2383 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2385 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2386 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2388 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2389 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2390 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2392 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2393 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2395 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2396 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2399 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2400 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2403 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2404 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2406 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2407 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2408 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2410 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2411 to new function output_content_folder.
2413 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2414 new function output_content_file.
2416 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2417 to new function parse_format_string.
2419 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2420 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2421 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2422 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2424 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2425 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2426 message/external file from ftp.
2428 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2429 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2430 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2432 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2433 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2436 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2439 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2440 new file mhstoresbr.c
2442 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2445 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2446 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2448 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2449 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2451 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2452 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2453 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2455 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2457 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2459 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2460 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2463 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2464 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2466 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2469 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2471 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2473 * Released nmh-0.26.
2475 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2476 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2477 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2478 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2480 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2481 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2482 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2483 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2484 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2486 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2487 But it is not on by default.
2489 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2490 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2492 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2494 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2496 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2498 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2500 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2501 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2503 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2505 * Released nmh-0.25.
2507 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2508 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2509 uses the original name of the library.
2511 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2512 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2515 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2516 list_content and list_debug.
2518 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2520 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2521 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2523 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2525 * Released nmh-0.24.
2527 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2529 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2530 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2532 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2533 large sequence line.
2535 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2537 * Released nmh-0.23.
2539 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2541 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2542 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2543 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2544 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2546 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2547 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2550 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2552 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2554 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2556 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2557 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2559 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2560 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2562 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2563 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2565 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2566 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2568 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2570 * Released nmh-0.22.
2572 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2573 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2575 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2577 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2578 mh-profile(5) man page.
2580 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2581 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2583 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2585 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2587 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2588 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2590 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2592 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2593 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2594 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2596 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2597 source message on the standard input.
2599 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2601 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2602 rather than -rfc934mode.
2604 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2605 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2608 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2609 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2611 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2614 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2616 * Released nmh-0.21.
2618 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2619 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2621 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2624 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2625 to use for text contents.
2627 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2629 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2631 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2633 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2635 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2636 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2638 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2639 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2640 spaces between encoded word are.
2642 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2644 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2645 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2647 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2648 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2649 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2651 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2653 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2654 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2656 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2658 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2660 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2661 ISO-8859-X character set.
2663 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2666 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2667 permissions, not write permissions.
2669 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2670 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2672 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2675 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2677 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2679 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2680 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2682 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2683 message contains valid character set.
2685 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2686 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2688 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2689 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2691 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2692 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2693 between an encoded word and normal text.
2695 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2696 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2698 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2699 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2701 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2704 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2705 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2708 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2709 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2711 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2712 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2714 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2716 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2718 * Released nmh-0.20.
2720 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2722 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2724 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2725 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2726 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2728 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2729 and the To: line was missing.
2731 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2733 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2735 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2737 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2738 watch the POP transaction.
2740 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2741 first, and use it if available.
2743 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2744 first, and use it if available.
2746 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2748 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2750 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2751 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2752 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2755 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2756 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2757 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2759 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2760 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2763 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2765 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2766 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2768 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2770 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2771 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2773 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2774 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2775 message to which you are replying.
2777 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2778 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2779 making group replies.
2781 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2783 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2785 * Released nmh-0.19.
2787 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2788 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2790 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2791 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2792 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2793 to the end of the man page.
2795 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2796 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2797 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2798 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2799 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2800 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2802 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2805 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2806 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2807 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2809 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2810 the next available number above the message number you wish
2813 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2814 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2816 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2817 file sbr/seq_print.c
2819 * flist will now update the current folder.
2821 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2822 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2823 but now undocumented.
2825 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2828 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2829 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2831 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2833 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2834 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2836 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2838 * Released nmh-0.18.
2840 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2841 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2842 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2844 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2845 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2847 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2848 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2849 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2850 previous public/private status.
2852 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2855 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2858 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2859 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2860 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2862 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2863 take option to determine whether it should get current
2864 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2865 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2867 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2869 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2870 wait for stopped processes.
2872 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2873 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2875 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2877 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2879 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2880 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2882 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2883 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2885 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2886 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2887 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2888 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2890 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2893 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2896 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2898 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2899 the debugging output.
2901 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2902 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2904 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2906 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2908 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2909 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2911 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2913 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2914 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2915 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2916 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2917 in the given sequence.
2919 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2920 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2921 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2922 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2923 subdirectories of a given directory.
2925 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2926 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2927 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2929 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2930 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2932 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2934 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2937 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2938 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2939 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2941 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2942 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2943 are calculated at runtime.
2945 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2947 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2949 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2950 about checking for global mh.profile.
2952 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2953 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2954 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2955 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2956 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2957 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2959 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2960 adding message to folder itself.
2962 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2963 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2964 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2967 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2968 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2971 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2972 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2973 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2975 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2976 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2978 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2979 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2980 code to use it yet).
2982 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2984 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2986 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2987 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2989 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2990 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2992 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2994 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2997 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2999 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
3001 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
3003 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
3005 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
3006 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
3008 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
3010 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
3012 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
3014 * Removed all the code for BERK.
3016 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
3018 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
3019 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
3021 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
3022 configuration files.
3024 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.

3028 * Released nmh-0.17.
3030 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
3032 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
3033 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
3035 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
3038 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
3039 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
3041 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
3042 number of refiled message.
3044 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
3046 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
3047 for return value of wait().
3049 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
3051 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3053 * Released nmh-0.16.
3055 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3057 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
3059 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
3060 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
3061 deal with binary messages, yet).
3063 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
3065 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
3067 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
3068 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
3069 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
3070 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
3071 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
3072 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
3074 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
3075 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
3077 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
3078 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
3080 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
3081 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
3084 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
3086 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
3088 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
3089 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
3092 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
3095 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
3097 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
3098 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
3099 which used unsigned chars by default.
3101 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3103 * Released nmh-0.15.
3105 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

3110 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
3112 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
3115 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
3116 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
3117 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
3119 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
3120 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
3122 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
3124 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
3125 they conflict with defines on AIX.
3127 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
3128 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
3129 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
3130 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
3132 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
3133 and put in own subroutine.
3135 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
3136 and put in own subroutine.
3138 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
3139 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
3140 refile.c to use new routine.
3142 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3144 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
3146 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
3149 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
3150 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
3151 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
3153 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
3156 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
3157 adding message to sequence.
3159 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
3160 corresponding file in sbr.
3162 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
3165 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
3167 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
3168 all selected messages from a sequence.
3170 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
3171 selected messages to a sequence.
3173 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
3176 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3178 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
3179 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
3181 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3183 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

3193 * Released nmh-0.14.
3195 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
3196 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
3198 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3200 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
3201 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
3202 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
3203 environment variable.
3205 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
3206 draft folder facility in nmh.

3220 * Released nmh-0.13.
3222 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
3223 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
3224 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
3225 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
3228 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
3229 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3231 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3233 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3234 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3236 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3238 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
3239 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.

3243 * Released nmh-0.12.
3245 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.

3251 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
3252 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
3254 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
3255 mp->attrstats with macros.
3257 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
3260 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
3263 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3264 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3266 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3267 will suppress the display of the message header.
3269 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3271 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3272 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3274 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3276 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3278 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3280 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3281 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3283 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3284 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3286 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3288 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3290 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3291 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3293 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3294 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3296 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3298 * Released nmh-0.10.

3305 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3307 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
3308 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3310 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3311 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3313 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3314 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
3316 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3318 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3319 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3321 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3323 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

3328 * Released nmh-0.09.
3330 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
3332 * Add configure check for killpg.
3334 * msh.c: include <termios.h> instead of <termio.h> and
3337 * prompter.c: don't include <sys/ioctl.h> anymore.
3339 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3346 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
3348 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
3349 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
3351 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3353 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3354 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3356 * Released nmh-0.08.
3358 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3359 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3360 locking database itself.
3362 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3364 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3366 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3367 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3370 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3371 rather than mmdf format.
3373 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3374 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3375 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3376 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3378 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3380 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3382 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3385 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3386 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3387 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3389 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3390 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3391 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3393 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3395 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3396 can still easily change this in config.h).
3398 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3399 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3400 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3402 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3404 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
3405 than tzset and external timezone variable.
3407 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3409 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
3411 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
3414 * Released nmh-0.07.
3416 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3418 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3419 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3421 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3422 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3425 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3426 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3428 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3429 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3431 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3433 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3435 * Added configure check for tzset.
3437 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3439 * Released nmh-0.06.
3441 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3442 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3444 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3445 many such machines around anymore.
3447 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3448 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3450 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3451 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3453 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3455 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3456 pre-generated version if necessary.
3458 * Released nmh-0.05.
3460 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3461 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3462 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3463 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3465 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3466 be linked in one pass.
3468 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3470 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3471 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3473 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3475 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3477 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3479 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3480 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3481 become the current folder.
3483 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3485 * Released nmh-0.04.
3487 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3490 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3492 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3493 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3494 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3496 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3498 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3499 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3501 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3503 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3504 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3507 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3508 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3510 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3512 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3513 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3514 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3515 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3516 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3517 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3519 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3521 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3522 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3524 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3525 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3527 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3529 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3530 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3532 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3534 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3535 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3536 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3538 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3540 * Released nmh-0.03.
3542 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3543 .mh_sequence file existed.
3545 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3546 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3548 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3549 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3552 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3554 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3557 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3559 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3560 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3561 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3563 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3565 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3566 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3567 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3569 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3571 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3572 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3574 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3576 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3578 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3579 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3580 directory from where the source code is located.
3582 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3584 * Released nmh-0.02.
3586 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3588 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
3591 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3593 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3594 and sys_nerr directly.
3596 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3598 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3600 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3602 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3604 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3605 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3606 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3607 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3608 rather than in script.
3610 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3612 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3614 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3615 macro defined on Solaris.
3617 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3619 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3620 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3622 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3623 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3624 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3625 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3628 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3630 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3631 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3633 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3636 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3638 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3640 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3641 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3643 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3645 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3646 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3648 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3650 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3651 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3652 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3653 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3654 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3655 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3657 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3659 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3661 * Released nmh-0.01.
3663 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3664 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3665 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3668 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3670 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3673 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3675 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3676 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3678 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3680 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3681 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3682 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3683 script to find_program.
3685 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3687 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3688 speed up -recurse option.
3690 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3691 yet, but it compiles :-)
3693 * Changed default location for install to
3694 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3695 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3696 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3699 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3700 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3701 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
